In AG/SAG-based circuits the need for W s appears to be unnecessary as Fig. 2 illustrates. Primary crusher feeds often have the shape shown in Fig. 2 and this has a very similar gradient to typical ball mill cyclone overflows. A similar situation appears to apply with HPGR product size distributions, as illustrated in Fig. 3.Interestingly the …

For modern large gold plants, the most typical flowsheets are crushing circuits (for heap leaching), autogenous/semiautogenous (AG/SAG) ball-mill circuits, or HPGR-ball-mill circuits. Such flowsheets dominate the 20 largest gold producers in Table 17.1. Examination of the flowsheets within each category, though, also demonstrates that …

In HPGR-ball mill circuit, when the compression of the grinding efficiency of HPGR and ball mill circuits separately, it can be seen that HPGR circuit is very efficient. Although VRM is also very effective grinding equipment, it consumes too more energy to transport the material from grinding table to dynamic separator by air inside the mill. ...

The main objective of this research was to advance the understanding of the potential benefits of the proposed HPGR stirred mill-based comminution circuits for low-grade, high - tonnage base metal operation.

Industrial scale Horomill ® and hybrid HPGR/two-compartment ball mill applications at puzzolanic portland cement production were presented with emphasis on the general operational characteristics of the circuit configurations, size reduction and energy efficiencies of the Horomill ® and two-compartment ball mill grinding conditions. Horomill …

HPGR-Ball mill circuits have the potential to reduce the Mining Industry's CO 2 emissions by 16.3 megatonnes/year when compared to AG/SAG/Ball mill circuits. This saving climbs to 34.5 megatonnes/year if HPGRs are also used instead of ball mills. Despite this huge potential saving, uptake of HPGR technology has been relatively slow.

Some of the major findings from the study were as follows. HPGR energy consumption (kWh/t) was 38% of the ball mills. With all the different auxiliary equipment, HPGR total circuit energy usage was still less than 50% of the ball mill circuits. Fines removal from HPGR feed increased grinding efficiency in the compression zone by 25% …

HPGR product has microcracked particles which weakens the boundaries and lowers the Bond work index. This reduces the amount of ball milling power required downstream. With a reduced load for the ball mills, you get a substantial reduction in required motor power, lowered steel ball consumption and increased grinding efficiency.
